Hi Erik,
Are you interested in getting all of the language code values and storing
them? If yes, then I haven't seen any software out there to specifically
process it like this. We have written some server-side Java code that takes
the entire String value, like "ja,en;q=0.5", parses it, then stores each
language attribute separately. We use this for language logging.
For our Web applications that use the accept language to redirect, all we do
is take the String value again, then redirect based on the first language
code, if available. If not, it checks the next and so forth bypassing any q
values. I don't think snippets of code like this exists for download, but is
fairly straightforward to write.
Regards, Olin
